The grills always look better after a touch up.

I've been a bit slow on my updates.The paintwork is almost finished.
Rear bumper had to be painted 3 times due to reacting, cheap paint used previously on it apparently.

Got myself a replacement LSD diff which has been fitted, used Gulf Competion LSD oil and replaced the 2 x 10mm collapsable washers for the drain and top level bungs.
Got myself new original dealer number plates and tax disc made up.
Not much left to do for now, fit number plates, aluminium sport pedals and a few oil breather hoses to fit.
then off to get my windows retinted.Once all this is done, gonna fit a new fuel pressure regulator and it's off for mapping then.
Thanks.Lee.
